a3ComPortBoundaryEncap

Module: A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB

OID (symbolic): A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB::a3ComPortBoundaryEncap

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.17.2.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object decides the packet encapsulation rules to be applied to outgoing packets. If this is set to none (5), the boundary router on the other end of the serial link is capable of supporting translation. In this case, all bridged packets will be sent unchanged. Boundary routed packets will be sent with the default mode: Ethernet. All other settings of this object implies that the remote device does not support translation. Therefore, all packets must be encapsulated according to this object. In order for any modifications to take effect, the port associated with this command must be disabled and then enabled.

Note, this only applies to serial ports on a NB2. For all non-serial ports, this object will have the value notApplicable(1).

What is a3ComPortBoundaryEncap?

This enum sets packet encapsulation rules for boundary-routed traffic, controlling how bridged and routed packets are formatted. Engineers choose none(5) if the remote device supports translation, or specify a format if it doesn't. Setting none means packets traverse unchanged; other values force specific encapsulation.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.17.2.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB::a3ComPortBoundaryEncap

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.17.2.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB::a3ComPortBoundaryEncap.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.17.2.1.4.1 i <value>
